Barbara Jean Lloyd“For me, art is all about telling stories, setting a mood, starting conversations. It’s like a window that opens onto my subconscious, where I collect the bits and pieces I find there and allow them to tell a tale. I want my art to create a distinct atmosphere - of mystery, whimsy, organic movement or unnatural stillness.If my art engages the viewer in a satisfying dialogue, I consider it a success." After graduating from Kean University of NJ with a Fine Arts degree, B.J. Lloyd taught art for awhile, created the art for many album/CD covers, and opened her own public relations company. Now a full-time working artist, she creates in Acrylics, Mixed Media, Collage, Digital Fine Art/ Photography, Assemblages, and whatever else strikes her fancy.
Lloyd was the Featured Artist in this year’s Island City Art Walk, Wilton Manors, FL. Her work has been exhibited in NYC; CT; RI; Artoconecto/Art Basel, Miami, FL; Brooklyn, NY; Los Angeles, CA; OH; MA; Cambridgeshire, UK; and more. She recently completed a solo art show at CityCenter, Danbury, CT.
Awards include the Art Buzz Graphics & Acrylics Competitions, four “Special Recognition" Awards from Upstream People Gallery Juried Exhibitions, and a Body-of-Work Award from Mosaic Globe. Her work has been published in the Art Buzz Collections 2009 & 2010, Suspense Magazine, Hidden City Quarterly, CT Creative, The Bullet, Sonata, Status Hat Press, Art Hash and more.
Lloyd ‘s work is available to art collectors, galleries, interior designers, stagers, art publishers, and for corporate & hospitality needs. Please visit Barbara's personal website.
